Did anyone else watch Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain last night? I'm not a huge fan of Marr, and didn't intend to watch this episode because I'm a 30s expert (the only thing I can claim to know much about), but I was captivated by it, partly because he started with some of the Mitford sister s (no mention of unpleasant brother Tom), and I'm a sucker for Jessica/Decca . Sure, the Spanish...

Guido Fawkes' latest "Guy News" segment starring Tory Bear and Emily no mates can be found here . It gives Labour's latest party political broadcast (the against the odds video ) a thorough going over and is well worth a watch. Still there is one innacuracy they don't seem to have picked up on. It comes about 40 seconds into the video when the slightly creepy sounding voiceover man says the...

Oswald Mosley with members of the British Union of Fascists It's a pub now. On the corner of Wood Street and St Mary Street. On its walls, photographs and posters to remind us that once this was the Prince of Wales Theatre, that some of the country’s greatest actors strutted its stage. But nothing to tell us that 75 years ago, the man who saw himself as Britain’s saviour stood upon that...

Here’s a hitherto unseen clip of the funeral of the German Ambassador to Britain being held at the Germany Embassy on Carlton House Terrace, overlooking The Mall, in 1936. This is the first time the video has been made public and it shows Grenadier Guards and Nazi soldiers marching together and carrying a coffin with a swastika draped on it. What's astonishing are the number of people watching,...

What odds that the Lancashire Telegraph’s scoop - “Revealed: The BNP's 'secret' Burnley base” - is written by Tom Moseley? An “e” can go a long way in Burnley, and while Oswald Mosley curses the one that got away, Tom tells us:

The BBC defended its decision to include Nick Griffin on Question Time by citing its commitment to political impartiality. Yet, for much of its history, the corporation actively blocked Britain’s most famous far-Right politician from television and radio.

By Alex Smith / @alexsmith1982 Nick Griffin's smug, sneering performance on Question Time was met with near unanimous mockery in the BBC studio, from the other panellists and now from the media and political blogosphere. The BNP leader sweated, ticked and fumbled his way through the show from the start and was clearly out of his comfort zone and out of his depth. He also betrayed his true bigotry...

Nick Griffin, leader of the far-right British National Party - and the most successful far-right politician in British politics since Oswald Mosley in the 1930s - has taken part in the BBC's flagship TV political programme, Question Time. Griffin claims he came away from Television Centre happy with his performance last night. But did the panel and the audience expose the weaknesses of his argument...

The longer the national spotlight shone on Nick Griffin the more cruelly it exposed his limitations as a performer. Fears that he might prove a rabblerouser in the Oswald Mosley or Jörg Haider class proved groundless.

British fascist Oswald Mosley behind a microphone. Nick Griffin won't look any prettier tonight. So the BBC breaks with a decades-old policy and allows British fascists onto the airwaves with an appearance by British National Party leader Nick Griffin on the prestigious Question Time tonight. Ever since World War II there has been an abhorrence in this country for fascism and all its followers. Members...

Nick Griffin has won an important victory just by being invited to appear on Question Time. To secure such a slot on prime-time television represents the greatest single accomplishment in the history of the fascist and neo-fascist movements in Britain. Oswald Mosley may have once filled the Albert Hall, but that granted him an audience of 5,000 and all were converts. The BBC delivers an audience of...

This year UKIP doubled its policies, from just the one to a total of two. Now in addition to just 'blame the EU for everything' they now also 'blame migrants' too. They have strayed into bnp territory, and must hope to pick up some of their supporters. This week some ex army leaders criticised extremist parties for using WW2 images . The media associated this with the bnp, but again UKIP were there...

He can't figure out who he hates more... jews or the Conservative Party... or is it Churchill or the BNP? Read his idiocy and judge for yourself. He can't fathom the difference between Oswald Mosley and the British Fascists (pro-Hitler) and Winston Churchill who opposed Hitler. Cross-posted @ Dodgeblogium
